Is there a bigger ahole in sports than dierdorf? Could he have sukked up more to the fins during this game?

This is his MO; to pump up whomever the pats are playing, making them sound like HOFs one and all, usually while said team is getting their azzes kicked by the pats. He's done that for years. Today, for example, he bum smooched the fins CBs for three hours, during which time they were getting torched for 323 yards.

Hard to believe that with all the former NFL players out there, CBS couldn't find anyone better than this pompous windbag and who's actually played the game after 1980.

He did everything but go down on the field and give the team hummers but it doesn't matter. The age when announcers were unbiased is long gone and the wildcat is in vogue this year even if it doesn't result in many wins.

i loved when he was surprised that miami "went for it" on 3rd and goal from the 1. he sounded like he was ready to name dan henning head coach of the year, with tony sparano as offensive line coach of the year. that guy is so out of it. i also loved how he was lecturing the listeners that andre agassi is actually a star internationally, not just here. thanks dan!

Obviously you dotn get it. The stooges as I like to call them (2nd fiddle, 2nd rate) are there only to tell the audience how wonderfull the teams are and how magnificent the players are. They are nothing more than (ball) blowers, whoever has the ball, they kiss up to for the audience and tell you what gods they are on the field. Most of them suuuucck at it, but then again most of them are ex ball players, so it goes to show you the Jock mentality and the limitations of their puny little minds. Now does that really supprise you?

dude, have you heard bel talk about the opponents? he's like lou holtz in hyperbole... everyone is the greatest this and that. if they get a number and a jersey in this league, he's one of the best in the world so u know he can make plays.. u have the hype the game. dierdorf is fine, not the worse in sports!

In Response to Re: Dan Dierdorf : You don't get these threads from me every week, so just deal with it. dierdorf has bugged me for years and i damm sure don't need your permission to post about him. When did you the become the mod for this board? No such thing as an ex-marine, cupcake. Is that a harley or a cardboard cut out? I ask because you sound like a puzzy to me and being from vermont makes that even more likely. only steers and queers come from vermont boy and i don't see no horns on you.Posted by unclealfie

LOL! you want some cheese with that tough guy..."no such thing as ex-marine" LOL! I can see your red angry face all the way up your high and tight...LOL!

although i think alfie is a complete dork, i gotta agree with him here, and to the poster who said mute the sound, thats not the point. shouldnt have to. there are good commentators out there. and he is NOT one. did anyone else get the 13,000 mentions about how they unveiled the wildcat and hurt the pats, but 00,000 mentions of the fact that we played them again and shut it down? thats what really got me.

i know, every time they mentioned how the dolphins wipped our buts the first time they unveiled the wildcat, i thought in my head y dont they mention how we totally stuffed them the second time we saw it.. deirdorf definitly has a bias problem but w/e atleast most of the time we dont have to deal with the same announcer every week.

One of the happiest Sports related days of my life was when Dierdorf got booted from MNF ... I've never heard a commentator more WRONG about EVERYTHING ( especially his analysis of calls under review ) A typical intuitive comment from him goes something like this : " Boy , let me tell you , that Peyton Manning is some kind of Quarterback "

I swear they do it because they like saying the word 'wildcat'. It's like a little kid learning a new word then running around endlessly repeating it. As for that second game last season...never happened. Pats fans hallucinated it.

I don't really care that he doesn't like the Pats, or that he lets it show in his commentary, and I get the fact that he's just a former player with no particular talent for this kind of work -- but he's just bone stupid, even for a color guy.

Like some have stated,.... they just like saying the word "wildcat". I can't believe how many times they referred to the first game Phish / Pats butt whipping,....conveniently not mentioning once,... yes not once, the fact the Pats handed the sushi's their own butt back the second meeting.

It's all about bringing the Pats down me says.... Can't wait to hear all the prasings of Prince Peyton and crew this week,......ONLY TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO REALLITY WHEN PATS EMERGE VICTORIOUS!!!!

No question - Dierdorf is awful. But the entire production of yesterday's game was toilet-worthy.

Where were the replays? There were limited shots on the decisive pass interference that set up the fins TD. It looked like the ball was so wobbly that it may have been touched by one of our guys, yet not a peep about that duck pass, and no other angle was shown.

The booth was just as third-rate as Dierdorf. Does anyone actually work with pride at this?

When there was a man down, there were no replays of the cause of the injury - except when fin's Davis fell in the end-zone. And we saw sideline shots of him all afternoon.
